This is because the /usr/lib tree is quite rightly write disabled for non-root users.
In my opinion, what should be happening is the examples should be in /usr/share/doc/qtcreator/examples/ and qtcreator should use them as templates and copy the relevant example to the users home directory for compilation. There's no sane reason for compiling in place like this - the examples should be known-good examples of the best practice way of doing things, if I use the examples as my work area I can easily break them and then I don't have a known-good source to refer back to. -- Can't build examples: Missing Makefile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
